October CIRM Board Meeting Moved to Burlingame

The location of the October meeting of the governing board of the California stem cell agency has been changed from Irvine to Burlingame, near San Francisco International Airport, in an effort to save travel costs.  

CIRM Chairman J.T. Thomas said the one-day meeting is being moved because the session will require the attendance of a large number of CIRM staffers who are based in the agency's San Francisco headquarters. They will be involved in presentations involving the agency's new strategic partnership fund and other matters.

The date of the meeting remains unchanged – Oct. 25. Look for posting of the agenda on the CIRM web site on Oct. 15. The site of the meeting is the Hilton Bayfront Hotel, 600 Airport Blvd.
